Mr. Tony O'Brien:

As the 90-plus primary care clusters are developed, it will aid that process considerably. I recognise and absolutely accept that there is a concern that when one looks at the hospital groups map, some of them transect great swathes of the country, making a map-based alignment of hospitals and the respective community health care organisations, CHOs, very difficult to conceptualise. The point I made in my opening statement was we were already seeing some benefits from within the groups and although there may be very strong arguments in favour of changing them, we must recognise that will carry a cost also.
